Dining Room Chairs Makeover

Hello Darlings,

This week and
probably into next week I will be spending quality time making over some
chairs. These chair are all that were left after I gave up a up the huge
matching dining table in exchange for fitting my kitchen islands in my
apartment. Recently, I purchased a folding table to play table games, which is
espresso and black. I decided to do these old dining room chair is the same
colors. The chair on the left is still in transition as I have to de-gloss
it However, I believe this stain will mixed with black and I might strip
the chair and find color of stain closer to what I am seeking. Or, since the
center of the table is black, settle for the de-glossing.

Below is my
first video in this project. It shows my current progress with the chair and
what is looked like before. Its accents parts needs cleaning up a bit. I used
some painter's tape to keep the stain out, but next time I will make the strips
wider so the stain does not get beneath it.

Moreover, I am
in a decision stage, because as I stated above this first chair is too glossy
and dark for my taste (more black than espresso), so I might just strip it and
find a shade of shade closer to the folding table I just purchased.

Decisions.
Decisions.

Since the sun is
out now, I wanted to show this chair is a little light. As I stated it still
needs work, but you can see where I am going with this project.

Until next time,

Chow

Update 02/16/2018: The espresso stain was indeed tampered with by adding some black stain. I reported it to Amazon, and they refunded my money. Seeing how is this has happened I decided to strip the chair and stain it along with its mates a different shade. I have purchased my new stain and supplies from our local Lowe's. I also selected a color stain closer to the the wood portion of the table pictured above. Stay tuned for the new post on this project.

Why I don’t add much casual summer wear?

I remember a time before long slacks for women became an acceptable norm. It was a time in which women dressed more stylishly and glamorously and felt more feminine too.

This is another Seven Ninety Seven goal. To recommend to women of like minds more stylish fashion reminiscent of the dresses women once enjoyed wearing for whatever reason or occasion at reasonable prices.

You don’t have to be a star to look like one.

Remember!

Remember cutting corners does notequate to being cheap. What cutting cornersdo equate tois having the know how to purchase high quality goods, save money, and live well.
